Unboxing a Team Associated RC10 World's Car New In Box Kit. (Let's Build It!)

[@estefanopassatore8150]

The time I was in Los Angeles on year 1994, one day did make a visit at Associated, thanks to the lady owner I could make a visit to all the factory and gave ma a nice t-shirt which I still have of course.

[@irritablearchitect]

As an owner of an original WC RC10 (yes, purchased it NIB, sometime in '94), I'll have to agree that it's in an era of the best looking buggies to ever be produced. You'll enjoy the build and having it in the collection for years to come.

[@mentula3784]

The nostalgia market of 40 something year old males with disposable income has to be huge, they should absolutely take advantage of it. Personally I am in the market for 80s styled buggys and more choice is always a good thing. Retro style with modern running gear so we can throw in a 3s without melting things

[@hikeaphoto746]

I really enjoyed my old 1/10 40 years ago. I now have my old rigs and rebuilt on some. Thanks!

[@kashmurray1199]

Vary nice. My first RC was an Associated RC10T. Always was an Associated fan.

[@xsixinfantryx]

Yep I had the first team car. That was when the stealth transmission came out. That car was the most important, greatest thing, in the entire world when I was a kid. Damn I miss that thing

[@RCKickschannel]

It is a total stunner of an RC thats for sure.

[@xsixinfantryx]

@@RCKickschannel that world's car you have is beautiful. They just don't make em' like they used to, that's for sure.

[@galactusgalan4233]

They should rerelease as many of the kits as they can if it is profitable for them. The team car would be my vote.

[@TheUsmc0802]

I restored a team car 1:1 nearly the same as a worlds car.

[@ea6b2002]

The World Car was re-released

[@shuster1921]

Nice Grab Brother!! I owned this car when it first came out, built it and won my first race with it, a month later the track closed and I sold it. I thought it was the best 2wd buggy I ever drove at the time, coming from the Traxxas TRX-1 buggy, which was pretty good too. Now years later, I built a Losi 22 Elite , which made those old buggies seem look like a Toy R Us special,,, lol Amazing how far they have come!

[@Zeros_Hobbies]

I missed the opportunity to get this one and so much regret it, i wish they would just re release this one at least R.I.P. Kinwald.

[@djcutlas1976]

I think it's great! I finally got my clear RC 10

[@RCKickschannel]

Nice 👍

[@TastierBackInThe80s]

I love the Ultima, and an original one would be nice, but the re release has so many nice upgrades baked in. Plus being able to handle brushless/Lipo power combos. The old school Option House gold dampeners, that's a different story. I still want them regardless.

[@00seismic38]

Brian Kinwald - rest in peace !

[@michaeldorich4485]

I enjoyed the unboxing and it brought some fond memories of visits to the hobby shops in the U.S. when the gold chassis first came out.The shop owners would take am RC10 hold it shoulder level and drop in it on the floor to demonstrate it toughness as compared to other r/c buggies. Being an r/c historian you probably know this. The 1988 Clint Eastwood movie, "The Dead Pool," featured an r/c car with a bomb in it chasing Eastwood around the streets of San Franciso. It was a black chassis RC10 with a Corvette Sting Ray body driven by Jay Halsey. It would be neat to see you build a replica.

[@mikeupton5406]

Yes Jay Halsey built the R/C cars used in the movie Sudden Impact. Jay had to go back and slow down the cars for some of the scenes. If you were around Los Angeles at this time and going to the R/C tracks if you saw a sweet red Chevy S10 flairs and skirts with the license plate JamnJay, word on the street was he bought the truck with the money he made from building the movie cars.

[@Mrtrc33]

@@mikeupton5406 remember the scene in the movie. Thinking that's an rc10 😎

[@prophetate]

I think the rere is great 😊 it really helped me get back into rc again so we could get those rc cars we lusted after as younsters 😊❤️

[@vichetdragoncars3186]

Thanks for sharing

[@whatsitaboutwithphilcraig6661]

Absolutely brilliant thanks for sharing your quality content 👏👏👏👏

Very nice!!

[@fishtailfistscale8362]

Keep the hobby going rereleases and new designs. Hire engineers and technicians. Throttle up✨🏆🎥🏆✨

[@SavyBajaBuster]

Nice👍👍.. As far as re released cars go.... I am glad that they have done them as it's given us a chance to get and build cars that back then were more than likely out of our reach but i do think that it should be for a limited number or time.. but then saying that you would get people buying them in bulk and selling them off at extortionate prices...

[@SuperAngryWalrus]

Now you'll have to get into vintage Losi! 😁

[@RCKickschannel]

:)

[@turboboostHoonicow]

You are absolut right, these cars are beautiful!. In my Opinion the Mirage is the nicest body for the RC10! I build my personal RC10 RPM like I had one in those days😉 If you are searching for a B2, there are only a very few differences to the b3. In my opinion the t2 with the narrow Aluminium chassis is a dream, and I got one😅👍

[@alfredyost7972]

I would like to see Team Associated re-release some of their trucks. Trucks are very popular right now. This might be a great thing to do. Thoughts?

[@andyrobinsonrc2480]

It’s a thing of beauty. Can’t wait to get stuck into mine and get it running. Not sure how much you know about B2/B3’s but there’s only minor changes between to two buggy’s the B3 was like a B2 update. They share many same parts. It’s the B4 where it starts to change a lot more even though it’s still rear motored unless you got an x-factory or centro mid motor conversion kit. Anyway looking forward to the build :)

[@EJ-74]

Cool 😎

[@duncanmcgregor7946]

Re re are great for those who couldn’t afford them first time around

[@electric0ant]

@2:25, when I saw that I thought that checklist looked familiar. I guess I know which ebay listing you bought! LOL

[@russellsouza6077]

They should rerelease they for newer people in the hobby and for people who couldn’t afford them when the were new

[@jipbutler1157]

Enjoy the build dude….I loved building mine, couldn’t agree more about the fantastic looking buggies compared to now….but the B3 is also a fantastic buggy too🥰😎

[@filterspaceone1959]

It would be nice if they kept some of the older ones around. They're classics, and very cool from a design standpoint. If I could buy a new gold pan RC10 (or a new 1/10 JRX2 kit if Losi/Horizon reads this), I would in a heartbeat. If model kits can be kept around for decades, why not do the same with R/C cars? Tamiya seems to have caught on to this, with the Wild Willy 2 and Hotshot re-releases. Hopefully, they'll stick around for a while longer. That said, I wouldn't knock the B3. It may be the last fully USA developed and built RC10 and is pretty cool in its own right. 3rd party manufacturers like J Concepts have re-released the body, and new wheels to work with 2.2 tires. My Factory Team B3 drives like a dream, but it would be nice to see better parts availability. $60 for a tiny plastic bumper, for example, is crazy.... but I still want one to keep it pristine.

[@D20MCK]

The RC10 B2 & B3 are almost the same car, associated did a conversion kit to upgrade the B2 to the B3.

[@plops5271]

that mercedes benz cap came with the c10 cause of the price =) =)

[@isaiahfurrow7414]

I love the idea of rerelease stuff , my Kyosho rere cars are awesome, I'd love to see the chassis and bits of the CC kit be done with non-clear plastic or something, for another version of the RC10 that wouldn't take too much away from vintage values....maybe it would help there be parts around for more to be revived... I've thought about a CC kit, then leave off the clear bits and source runnable bits, for a "silver pan" runner.... do you think there is enough current parts around for that to be easily accomplished? I'm not at all tied to it being period correct or anything, aftermarket would be totally fine if it's serviceable for a runner ... Would love to see an RC10T rere as well. Cheers

[@acetomatocompany8258]

I may uh have 2 of those built and an unbuilt 30th anniversary, and its not enough trust me you cant get enough rc10s

[@soma_rc]

I think they should rere the Game Boy 😁

[@neontetra1000]

What is the deal with the trickbits yz10r . I don’t suppose it’s possible to buy one now ? I would quite like to have one

[@RCKickschannel]

Yep you can get one, just contact them on Facebook. Links in any of my YX10R video descriptions

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

I’ve never had the pleasure of owning an associated car or truck because of price. I did once own a gold pan chassis but never got anything more than that.

[@jamesneylon7335]

I don't see Associated doing another Re Re, the worlds car didn't sell at first, and they put them all on sale to get rid of them. Should have got a few of them with the prices now. Lucky I got a gold pan and a worlds car still in the box waiting to be built.

[@smithp573]

How much!? Good god. I'm rather pleased I picked a couple of these up back when there were quite a few re-releases still hanging about in shops once the initial demand had been satisfied.

[@RCKickschannel]

Worth even more now.

[@Leof000]

I really want to buy some kyosho re releases, ,I'm in Australia so where in Asia,japan,china etc is good ?

[@RCKickschannel]

You can get them in Australia already. Look up Adam on RC Action Australia, he has kyosho cars on his channel :)

[@Leof000]

Very over priced here in oz

[@markhinkle3234]

I think they should rerelease them for sure. People want the classic look and performance that goes with them. Companies could update them slightly for modern power and electronics just like Kyosho does. Then I really don’t think the value of the true vintage cars will be hurt.

[@edgarpoe517]

Are these rare now? I have three brand new ones in boxes in my garage, and a built one on my bookshelf.

[@RCKickschannel]

Extremely valuable.

[@edgarpoe517]

@@RCKickschannel lol damn this keeps happening to rigs in my collection. I knew the gold pans are fetching some bucks but didn't think the worlds kits were hard to get. I got a bunch of those Schumachers too.

[@momothemilkman]

I'm guessing AE will never do another rerelease. Towards the end of the run, they pretty much couldn't give the car away. The rere Worlds car dropped to as low as $150 here in the US at one point. I wish I would have stocked up on them!

[@RCKickschannel]

Yep I did hear that. Markets change so now's the time to drop a vintage rere for sure.

[@prophetate]

Gavin, what is the car above the F1 car?

[@RCKickschannel]

It's the new Mardave Cobra, chassis 001 :)! I did a video on it a while back.

[@RCKickschannel]

It is

[@mikeupton5406]

I think rere's are great in theory, BUT at least in North America it has been a dumpster fire frustrating mess. There is a certain company... that will advertise for months about a upcoming Rere and the shops/distributors will take preorders and then they sell out before the container hits the dock and some people do not get their preorder and have to wait for the future shipments which can drag out months. But if for some reason a few get sprinkled around the shops you had better have money in hand and buy right then. Because it will be relegated to backordered oblivion. And if it's "limited edition" forget it. It was already gone before you were aware of it being rere'd. And there is even more fustrations in store even if you did win the lottery and got your model before your kids grew up and moved away and your pension started. Spare parts. LOL FORGET IT. Even if the US warehoue website shows it in stock you hit the order button go to electronic check out and BACKORDERED. Last week I gave up on finishing someone else's half finished restoration project because I hit the same wall they did, lack of parts. Certain warehouse website shows it in stock. Till you order it. 50USD in parts. Found them on extortion bay for 200. Out of the question. The up side to rere's Optimal and Optima Mids. They sent enough for everyone. Got mine through Amain, boom! in the office three days later. Parts? Why yes we do! And actually the rear motor Optima which was the one I wanted seems to not be that much more that when they were first run on the shelf. I hope everyone has had better success than I have with that one manufacturer. I know, it's just me...... So four fails for kits and parts from one outfit and nothing but sweet gooey goodness from their competition down the street. Reres have a place absolutely,

[@DSR505]

comeing from the trading card market, reprints or remakes almost never effect og prices people know the difference

[@ryanhuckins6669]

[@khrisyeet8022]

I support re-release. Just not Biden.

[@jessicalatex2539]

That new losi jrx2 small scale was as they said put out in 1/16 scale so the vintage team losi jrx2's values wouldn't be messed with. . However in team associated's case doing the somewhat limited runs is good but .. could backfire financially as limiting a run might lose them money... Something team associated has done as a sideline with the RTR RC market has fluctuated their financials .. .. I'd like to see them drop their first 4wd buggy.. the B44... For tamiya it would be some Ferrari bodies on the TC -01.. or the group c chassis ....
